I'm all about that Bass and that Donkey

I'll make sure to wear a dress and have full makeup today

So, it was the song that was playing on the radio when I dropped the girl off . So, all day now that song is going to be going through my head as I clean....cleaning the entire house. I learned yesterday that guests are arriving. I thought they were coming next week. So, to my shock and disbelief I was informed they were coming today. This of course was after I had poured water down my trainers back and he had given me a fabulous "finisher". I came home loaded with sweat and then showered to have even more sweat. Yeah, I will probably be showering twice today.

I attended a gathering on Sunday with some church members. They are called connect groups and we gather together and do activities and service projects. We were sharing stories about different things and this lady said she had a cast signed by two senators. Well, I have lived here what ? 3 years and have no idea who the senators are for this state. So, one of the gentlemen says " I had a BBQ for the Republican Party." So, I knew this guy was a Republican because...he just is an extremely conservative guy. He says to me ...without me even looking at him " Yes Gretch, and I don't bite." Um, I never told this guy where I politically stand, but  I certainly do not come across as a very conservative uptight person.

 Politically speaking I am sure I fall somewhere in the middle of things. I am not too much one way or too much the other way.  I thought about my Republican friends in Danville and they are way way more open minded and accepting than the extremely conservatives here. I am not talking about the big issues, but I can feel the difference here. I am not even that political of a person !! Perhaps I would say people are more opinionated here ?? Anyway, I generally just keep my mouth shut because ...I don't generally discuss politics with people . That would be a period. I can do it on my blog because only people in France and Turkey read my blog.

One more thing...for my mother. I told my mother " Mom, I know you hate my blog." She said she just didn't like to read how much I don't like myself. Mom, I don't hate myself. I think I have great expectations of me.  I would like to be perfect. I would have liked to have that ideal life I dreamed about years ago. I would love to be super healthy and fit. I would have loved....yes, my expectations were too great. So, if I eliminated those I am sure I would be a happier human being. I am VERY BLESSED and I am a fun, happy, crazy (good crazy) intelligent person. There are a lot of good things to be said about me. It's just if you lived in this world of people addicted to whatever is trendy in society....fashion, looking young, being super wealthy, and ultra skinny....it makes one feel VERY INSECURE...media of any shape and form is just "the Devil".
